New Olympics Idea: "Who can throw more stupid commentators in the mud" contest
I think what has irritated me most in these Olympics (not that it is anything new), but newly as annoying, is the hyperventilating media pressure about gold medals. Listening to these stupid commentators is always the same:
"Mary, we don´t really want to put any pressure on you, but we all know that gold is what matters and if you don´t win it, well, you´re trash. Everyone is counting on you to bring that gold medal, is that clear? If you don´t win, we´ll really tar your perfomance, we´ll execute you with our stupid questions about why you failed before the entire nation, because gold is the only thing our enlightened minds can think of regarding the Olympics.
That doesn´t mean the Olympics aren´t about brotherhood and that other nonsense stuff, do not get me wrong, we aren´t some rapacious gold vultures, but if you don´t get that gold medal, you´re a total loser, you hear? A total loser!"
Can´t we have a "Who can throw more stupid commentators in the mud" contest?
